This is going to sound insane, because to me it doesn't even make sense. So, as I mentioned before, I attended Meg Swansen's mini-camp last weekend. I learned a plethora of things, and was exposed to extremely intricate, gorgeous knitwear. I bought the Saddle Shoulder Aran Cardigan 'pattern' and the Adult Suprise Jacket, too, and sufficient yarn to knit any of it. Along with "Hat's On!" (at t the enablement of Dee, who also 'sold' about six other "Hat's On!" books to the group) and "Meg Swansen's Knitting".
So what do I feel like knitting?
A top-down stockinette stitch jacket.
Wah? Shouldn't I be attempting all these wild and fun things I learned? Shouldn't I be taking advantage of all of that?
Yes, probably. But as I say to myself time and again--there will be time for that. I am a comfort knitter right now. I have, at most, one and a half hours per day to knit, and I'm usually tired, too. While I adore cables and fair isle, I just can't bring myself to do it right now.
What a boring blog. (sshhh! Don't tell anyone!)
Hey, pink or purple for the jacket?

Sounds like a fabulous workshop session! I vote elderberry -- it's such a nice, rich color for fall and winter. I'm dying to try Beaverslide sometime.
I have 9 skeins of the snowberry yarn too and haven't a clue what to knit with it! I'm going to just copy you, K?
lovely color choices. We still on for next Friday? Hope you are well. Nothing wrong with a bit of comfort knitting.
I think your plans sound very EZ to me. Go for it.
How about one in each color???
Whoa, those are both gorgeous, but I voted for purple! I'm feeling the darker colors for fall!
I'm jealous of your knitting camp experience! It sounds heavenly. I probably wouldn't be knitting anything wild and fun, either, but having been exposed to it and learned more from it would be wonderfully inspiring. And a top down stockinette stitch jacket sounds like an EZ inspiration as it is!
I like both colors you've chosen. Do you have other plans for one of them? Eeny meeny miney moe? :)
Sounds like camp was a bit overwhelming... take your time and let it sink in! EZ would be thrilled with any of your knitting, dontcha think? I vote elderberry--nice and autumn-y. :-)
Purple purple purple purple!
Wish you lived closer. It would be WAY fun to spend time together having tea -- er, chocolate -- and working on our projects.
knit whatever makes you happy! the workshop sounds wonderful. glad you had a good time.
